Just popping down to court

Marie Gorman’s Dolls & Dreams line has been hailed as Ireland’s answer to Victoria’s Secret, with a range of items available.
Ms Gorman – who until October last year was registered as a practising barrister with Ireland’s Bar Council – told UK tabloid daily, The Sun: ‘My dream has always been to have my own business. I studied law and felt it was important to have a qualification behind me... It’s different in the sense that it’s not as fun as the lingerie business, but both of them are equally challenging.
‘As a barrister you really have to build a name for yourself, have a great reputation and stand out from the crowd. That’s what I have to do with Dolls & Dreams – show that it is a great brand and provides fantastic products at great prices.’
